Best Programming Quotes of all Time:
best quote all the time in the history
1. “when you don’t create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than ability. your tastes only narrow & exclude people. so create.”― Why The Lucky Stiff
2. “Java is to JavaScript what Car is to Carpet.”- Chris Heilmann
3. “Lisp isn’t a language, it’s a building material.” – Alan Kay
4. “Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.” – Brian W. Kernighan
5. The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit. – Anonymous
6. The most important thing in the programming language is the name. A language will not succeed without a good name. I have recently invented a very good name and now I am looking for a suitable language. – Donald Knuth
7. “Programmers are in a race with the Universe to create bigger and better idiot-proof programs, while the Universe is trying to create bigger and better idiots. So far the Universe is winning.” – Rich Cook
8. “There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult.”– C.A.R. Hoare
9. “Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.” ― Harold Abelson
10. “If debugging is the process of removing software bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.” – Edsger Dijkstra
11. “Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen.”- Edward V Berard
12. Without requirements or design, programming is the art of adding bugs to an empty text file. – Louis Srygley
13. “It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers, they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.” – Edsger Dijkstra
14. “Most of you are familiar with the virtues of a programmer. There are three, of course: laziness, impatience, and hubris.” – Larry Wall
15. “Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight.”– Bill Gates
16. “Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.” ― Rick Cook
17. “ Rules of Optimization:Rule 1: Don’t do it.Rule 2 (for experts only): Don’t do it yet. ” – Michael A. Jackson
18. “They don’t make bugs like Bunny anymore.”- Olav Mjelde
19. Ready, fire, aim: the fast approach to software development. Ready, aim, aim, aim, aim: the slow approach to software development. – Anonymous
20. “Everyday life is like programming, I guess. If you love something you can put beauty into it.” – Donald Knuth
21. “The trouble with programmers is that you can never tell what a programmer is doing until it’s too late.” – Seymour Cray
22. . “Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.”– Brian W. Kernighan
23. “Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live” ― John Woods
24. “ Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen. ” – Edward V Berard
25. “A programming language is low level when its programs require attention to the irrelevant.”- Alan J. Perlis
26. “It’s not a bug – it’s an undocumented feature.” – Anonymous
27. “You might not think that programmers are artists, but programming is an extremely creative profession. It’s logic-based creativity.” – John Romero
28. “Computer science education cannot make anybody an expert programmer any more than studying brushes and pigment can make somebody an expert painter.” – Eric Raymond
29. “C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg.”– Bjarne Stroustrup
30. “The best programs are written so that computing machines can perform them quickly and so that human beings can understand them clearly. A programmer is ideally an essayist who works with traditional aesthetic and literary forms as well as mathematical concepts, to communicate the way that an algorithm works and to convince a reader that the results will be correct.” ― Donald Ervin Knuth
